Sacred Geometry: Homage to Shangri La
Mixed Media Print | Dimensions Variable
Inspired by the intricate tilework and sacred geometry of Doris Duke’s Shangri La in Honolulu, this piece explores the meditative rhythm of Islamic design. Hand-carved and printed patterns create a layered composition where ancestral forms meet contemporary craftsmanship—offering a quiet invitation to contemplate symmetry, repetition, and the spiritual resonance of shape.
Inspired by the intricate tilework and sacred geometry of Shangri La—the celebrated Honolulu home of Doris Duke—this work pays homage to the mathematical poetry of Islamic art. A symphony of repeating star forms and interlaced planes, the composition invites contemplation through rhythm, symmetry, and the quiet logic of tessellation.
Each pattern is carved and printed by hand, layering ancestral motifs with contemporary craftsmanship. The piece vibrates with harmony and restraint, offering a meditative portal into the eternal language of shape, light, and sacred design—a place where East meets West, and geometry becomes prayer.
